ADELONG VETERINARY CLINIC

Adelong is a town in the Riverina region of New South Wales on the banks of the Adelong Creek and a gateway to the Snowy Mountains region.

The Riverina is a large and productive agricultural region in southern New South Wales, widely regarded as one of Australia’s most important food-producing areas. With Wagga Wagga as its major regional city, the area also includes towns such as Griffith, Leeton, Narrandera, and Temora. The Riverina’s identity is strongly tied to irrigation agriculture, particularly rice, grapes, citrus, and a wide range of produce. It also supports extensive livestock and grain farming. The region’s economic strength is matched by its cultural diversity, shaped by waves of immigration from Italy, Greece, and more recently Asia, which have left a lasting impact on the food, wine, and architecture of towns like Griffith. Wagga Wagga is a major regional centre with universities, military bases, and strong sporting traditions. The Murrumbidgee River flows through much of the region, providing both a vital water source and recreational opportunities. Life in the Riverina is built around community, resilience, and connection to the land. Its strong work ethic, agricultural innovation, and increasingly sophisticated food and wine scene make it a thriving and grounded region with a clear sense of identity.

The Riverina is easily reached by car via the Hume Highway, with Wagga Wagga and Griffith as major regional centres. NSW TrainLink’s XPT services connect Sydney and Melbourne to Wagga Wagga and Albury, with coach links to other towns. Wagga Wagga Airport and Griffith Airport provide regular flights to Sydney and Melbourne. Long-distance coaches run throughout the region, but many towns and rural areas are not served regularly. Driving is the most practical option for local travel, especially for visiting farms, vineyards, and food trails scattered across the landscape.
